There isn't much to say about the City of Light that hasn’t been said before. TS Eliot said the “chief danger about Paris is that it is such a strong stimulant” and it’s true; overflowing with tourist attractions, art, culture and even its own syndrome, Paris for the last century has been a cultural hub for the ages. Since the early 90s, photographer Ed Templeton has visited the city almost annually on skateboarding tours and as a tourist with his wife and fellow photographer, Deanna Templeton. Recently, Templeton has compiled 69 black and white images that were shot on visits to the city between 2001 and 2023 in his latest book, City Confessions #3 Paris. With street photographs capturing strong stimulus alongside quiet moments, portraits, observations and larger details of the city, these are the things that captivate Templeton.

It was a Night at the Museum for special NBC Olympic correspondent Snoop Dogg, and a history lesson unlike most. As the 2024 Summer Olympic Games continue in Paris, Snoop was given a private, after-hours tour of the Louvre, home to some of the world’s finest art, as seen in a Thursday, August 1, 2024, promo clip on TikTok by NBC Olympics. The “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper was guided through the grandiose empty wings to do some “snooping around,” avoiding the tens of thousands of tourists who visit the museum daily.

NEW YORK, NY.- Howie Cohen, an advertising copywriter, often said he was congenitally familiar with indigestion. So perhaps it was only natural that in the 1970s, he, along with an ad agency colleague, would conjure up a catchy slogan that would not only sell more Alka-Seltzer but also become an American pop culture punchline: “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing.”

NEW YORK, NY.- On a humider-than-humid afternoon in July, Myha’la stepped into a teahouse in her Brooklyn neighborhood and joined the line leading to the front counter.
